I have a FileMaker 5/6 solution. When I create a new release I import the records from the old version into the new version of the program. I have done this sucessfully hundreds of times. Today, I ran into a problem I can't figure out. When I try to import the records from the previous version, the import process goes very slow (8-10 records/minute) and the file I'm importing into becomes very large and after about 50 records the Filemaker file size is exceded.I stopped the import process after importing 30 records and the file size icreased from about 20mb to 650mb. Can anyone help me with this problem?

Are you importing any images? Have you tried importing into an earlier version of the same file? Your newer file may be corrupt. Have you tried exporting from the old version to a different format and then importing from that file instead?

What are the differences between the old and new versions? Have you changed or added any calculation fields?
